TRANMERE have finally agreed terms with West Brom for the transfer of of Jason Koumas.

The club's official website reports that the agreement is subject to medical and negotiation of the player's personal terms.

The Baggies will make an initial payment of #1.125 million immediately and a further payment of #1.125 million after a year, plus #250,000 after 75 appearances.

The #2.5m total is below the #2.75 million deal agreed between the two clubs in March, but the guaranteed element is #250,000 higher, giving Tranmere greater certainty. The transfer is expected to be concluded tomorrow.

The deal has been on-off for several months, but caretaker manager Pay Mathias will have some funds available for strengthening the first team.
